Sugarloaf1989 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I just bought my ticket and the forecast of snow in the afternoon makes me want to start skiing as close to 9am as possible. I'm wearing red pants and a red/black jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR's mountain report is pretty much my mentality when it comes to taking days off, only go around once and it flies by SR All across New England, there is the sound of scraping, shoveling, gear being loaded and vehicles being started. It's officially a powder day. Overnight we picked up four inches of fluffy stuff on top of the six we saw during the day yesterday for a storm total of 10-12 inches and a one-week total of nearly two feet. The skies are clearing this morning and we are looking at a perfect day of skiing and riding. There's not much more to be said about it. If you're the kind of person who reads this report, then it's going to be the kind of day you dream about. This is the report you've been waiting for. Call in sick, get a note, "work from home", do whatever you have to, but get here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professional Lurker Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 I have to with at my real job at 430pm, so i figured I'd have the whole day. Unfortunately my daughter has a 2pm orthodontist appointment in Athol so I'm going to have to leave shortly after noon.

Maybe I will again some day again but not right now. Looks like there will be a large turnout tomorrow and the weather looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Just mapped it. It’s going to be like a 3+ hour drive for me. There really isn’t a direct route there. I’ll be honest, I can’t really envision myself making the 3 hour drive both ways tomorrow... maybe if Wachusett is ever in play I’d go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radarman Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The beast probably finished up close to 6" yesterday. Moreover they've done an outstanding job with surfaces this year in the face of tough conditions at times. Have really upped their game in this respect. Should be really pleasant skiing, especially for a GTG. Hope everyone has a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 18 hours ago, ORH_wxman said: Anyone have an outfit that sticks out? If I get there at 930 and ya'll are already on the slopes I'll want to know what to look for. Im guessing it will be pretty empty so even something as tepid as red or blue ski pants would probably be enough. I wear black snow pants and grey and black jacket with black helmet so I don't stick out very well. Here's what I'll be wearing...from telluride a couple winters ago: That's pretty much what I will look like, except the gray and black colors on the two tone Columbia jacket are reversed. And my helmet is blockier. Planning to leave at 5 and hopefully get there by 9. No ferries that early so it's the longer drive. Skis are an old pair of Rossi Bandits (with a Wildcat sticker on one of them) and boots are white Tecnica Mach 1. Photo below is me with the boys last winter, but I'll probably wear the other jacket.The last photo is me getting some big air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I do, unfortunately, have to leave at 2 or so...strangely enough to go to another ski hill...Wachusett. Need to bring kiddo number 1 to work and hang out in the bar until kiddo number 2 is done with ski club Then back to the hill for 10 to pick eldest up after work. I wish he could drive a stick shift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hey Lurker, does B'East rent helmets? or does somebody have an extra? I just realized I left mine at my buddies house in N Conway last trip North. It's not a huge deal since I've spent most of my life skiing without but still would make the wife happy if I wore one. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional Lurker Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Spent a few hours at the bump today. Hero snow, and tomorrow looks like more of the same. They got 6" yesterday with about an hour our so of sleet. Zero ZR. The trails carved beautifully, and off-piste on the bike trails are in play too.

I can bring up my son's helmet, but I have to leave early and he'll need it this weekend... its a Smith holt (same as the rentals), either in an adult M or L. Can't remember.
